Objective:
The endoscopic and pathological characteristics of gastric cancer in Luis N. Sáenz National Hospital between 2008 and 2013.
Materials And Methods:
retrospective cross-sectional observational study. We reviewed the endoscopic reports of patients older than 30 years, we studied the histological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma, pathological variables such as histological type, presence of H. pylori and complete and incomplete intestinal metaplasia.
Results:
92 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma were identified. Average prevalence 0.6%, 0.34% in 2009 and 0.82% in 2013; 62% male, 38% female, age less than 55 years 16%, greater than 76 years 42%; endoscopic presentation Borrmann III 57%, II 16.3%, IV 15%, V 7.6%, I 3.3%; 8 times most frequent presentations distal the proximal v, 75% histologic intestinal type, H. pylori in 50% cases, intestinal metaplasia in 40% of cases of gastric cancer.
Conclusion:
We found high prevalence of gastric cancer. Common in males, and in people over 76, more frequent endoscopic presentation was Borrmann III, the presence of H. pylori and incomplete intestinal metaplasia associated with intestinal cancer type.
